Game of Death continuation thread 1

[green slime]

Is this THE board to follow the blow-by-blow developments? Or is there another one, as per Clockworkjoe's?

I've pegged the "map" as a fav, so I can find it, but just wondering...

For blow-by-blow, go to the blog page

For the rules of the game, go to the main web page

For all of the discussion and smack talk, though, this is the place to be .

Descriptions and full initiative order is posted at the blog site! I have some individual e-mails to send out regarding various detection magics and whatnot, but otherwise, round 1 is ready to begin.

Note: the deadline for round 1 is Tuesday, June 17th, at midnight central standard time (it is 5pm central currently). CST is -6:00 from Greenwhich Mean (GMT). If you don't get your action sent in, I will have you behave in most cowardly fashion, avoiding and evading to the best of your character's ability.

Note2: The descriptions are BELOW the initiative post. I meant for it to be the other way around, but I forgot how the blog software works. Durnit. Anyway, make sure you see your competition .

Note3: I won't be changing it on this iteration, but if I run another of these, I may do something about Initiative. You wouldn't believe how many characters with high base Init got screwed by low rolls, and vice versa. Maybe roll d10, or Take 10? I dunno - suggestions welcome.

It's tough to take a crap roll, much less 3 in a row. Given that you now know you got a crap roll, the initiative gamble doesn't look as good. If you'd rolled a 15, 19 and 20, however, you would probably have been quite happy with your decision. From a tactical standpoint, however, initiative is always a gamble, and at least your working for Initiative gauranteed that you aren't going LAST, which is what those rolls would have done to you otherwise.

Well, just like everything, it was a risk that could have paid off, but no guarantee. By the way, I AM going last! I figured on that for Xiao Hu, anyway.

Another note: Next time, no damned cohorts . Or at most, one each. There are 39 individual units in this game. So y'all kill each other off, kay?

Corrected Tairnandon's initiative to 21.

 

[Number47]

Well, my first turn is sent

Seasong: under 3.5, I don't think there would be as much trouble. A druid (or ranger) would only have one animal companion, period. Of course, even under 3.0, you are only able to take the Leadership feat once by the book. So you opened the door to that problem yourself. The huge number of summons, I don't see what you could've done about that.

Is the animal friendship spell also being rewritten, then?

There's no rule about that, that I know of?

Anyway, too late now.

 

[Number47]

Animal Friendship has gotten the boot! Animal companions are now a class feature, the way they should be.

As for Leadership, the default is that you cannot take a feat more than once unless it specifically says so.

 

[Saepiroth]

Seasong; move sent.

Important note; you forgot the special ioun stones in the description.
